Hi I’m Angela on behalf of Expert Village.com and right now I am going to show you a home remedy on how to get rid of the hiccups. There are so many different ways to get rid of hiccups but this is the one that I found most effective when I was a server in a restaurant. What you want to do is just fill up a glass of water lukewarm, not too cold and don’t put ice in it. Grab either a paper towel what I have right now or a napkin. What I am going to do is place it on top of the glass and then I am going to drink out of this end from this position and just bend over and tilt it and drink a little bit until I feel the hiccups are gone. You can do this as long as you like but it doesn’t take that long and I don’t think it would take this whole glass of water either; maybe a fourth of it and then your hiccups will be healed.
It's an interesting idea, akin to holding ones breath. My concern would be that the paper towel or napkin would likely have processed chemicals in it that I really wouldn't want going in my system as I drank the water.
Don't believe that !!! The best way is to breath into a paper bag or hold your breath. The increase in carbon dioxide in your system will help suppress the hiccups.
